Jamie Barton has been competing for 5 years. His best event is the Pyraminx: a personal-best single of 3.94, set at Rubik's Irish Championship 2024, puts him in the top 7.4% of the 129,321 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 104th in Ireland. Until February 2008, no official Pyraminx solve in the world had been that fast. Across 14 competitions since November 2021, he has put 577 official solves on the record across nine events.

His 3×3 best has come down from 35.80 in November 2021 to 13.63, a 62% improvement. Jamie has entered 14 competitions, more competitions than 95% of everyone who has ever competed.

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
